Artists often use painting as a catharsis; helping one work out problems. In the two unfinished paintings I had hoped to purge myself of bad habits and free my father of entrapment inside his dream home. But, as in life, many situations are unsolvable. This may be due to the complexity or nature of the problem, the numberous variables involved, the situation itself or the individuals involved. One needs to make peace with oneself and ones surroundings.
